I love this! I'll never forget the first time I referred to myself as a writer without all these addendums like "but I haven't been published" or "it's my hobby.." "I'm a writer" hard stop.
Nicole!! Lovely read. It made me want to write again. To answer your question, I’ve always considered myself a writer. Although like you, it doesn’t feel legit when I don’t have anything recent and tied in a pretty bow to show. In fact, in packing this weekend for my upcoming move, I found binders and folders from my high school playwriting class. Full of journal entries, monologues, scenes, and plays. While I love creative writing, I always loved writing essays in school too. Weird, I know. I feel writing comes easily to me and I’m glad I read this today! Maybe one day I’ll have the courage, discipline, and skill you have as a writer! Looking forward to the next 😊
